    Who would run straight 24V glow plugs if they could?

    I've thought about this since posted and would have to say I would not change to 24 volt plugs. I understand the desire to balance the number of discharge/charge cycles across both batteries, but don't believe it is a problem that needs a solution. I manage my batteries by swapping them...

    Gen 2 Alternator question

    Suggest you add a dab of dielectric grease to each of your cleaned up connections as well. Really helps reduce the oxidation of these connections.

    I thought I was DEQ (SMOG CHECK) exempt in Oregon?

    :funny: My '09 is exempt here in CT due to age. My '08 is exempt due to age, but prior to that it was exempt due to GVWR.

    Thermostat: what is normal operation

    I've used the CU850 radiator twice now with excellent results. The only issue I had was it took several (like 5) attempts to get one that wasn't banged up in shipping the second time around. For whatever reason, they would not ship the product in a proper shipping container. They simply...
